Man City coach Pep Guardiola is not happy with the player Man United has agreed personal terms to sign, he feels they’re going to be unstoppable with him.
Manchester United are ramping up their pursuit of a new striker following their ongoing struggles in front of goal, highlighted by their recent goalless draw against Manchester City. The lack of a consistent finisher has become a pressing issue, and the club is exploring multiple targets to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
One of the names now on United’s radar is Wolves forward Matheus Cunha. According to a report, the club has made initial contact with the Brazilian’s representatives, and his agent is expected to fly into England for in-person talks. Cunha, who has delivered an impressive 15 goals this season—13 of them in the Premier League—has played a key role in keeping Wolverhampton Wanderers in the top flight. His performances have earned him the label of “unbelievable,” and his release clause of £62 million is set to become active this summer.
Ruben Amorim, the man expected to take charge at Old Trafford, is reportedly in search of a player who can operate in the number 10 position within his preferred 3-4-2-1 setup, and Cunha seems to tick the right boxes with his proven Premier League pedigree. However, United are not alone in the race for his signature, with Arsenal and Nottingham Forest also showing interest.
Despite the growing interest in Cunha, Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap remains United’s primary target. The 22-year-old English striker has been in remarkable form this season and could potentially be secured for around £50 million, which makes him a more cost-effective alternative. Nevertheless, United may be forced to act swiftly as several clubs are also monitoring Delap closely.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils have already submitted a £64 million bid for Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres, another highly rated striker attracting attention from the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal. With Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund managing just 14 goals between them across all competitions, the need for a reliable and prolific striker has become even more urgent.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Manchester United are clearly not willing to enter the new campaign without securing a formidable presence up front. Whether they land Cunha, Delap, or Gyokeres, the club’s focus is firmly set on transforming their attack with a dependable goal-scorer.
